About Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month
Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, observed every March, shines a vital spotlight on one of the most under-recognised and deadliest forms of cancer affecting women. The month is dedicated to raising awareness of the symptoms, promoting early detection, and supporting those impacted by ovarian cancer.
What is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month?
Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month aims to educate the public about the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer, which can often be subtle and easily overlooked. Through campaigns, fundraising, and community events, organisations like @TargetOvarian work to ensure more women are diagnosed earlier, when treatment is more effective. The month also honours those living with the disease and remembers lives lost.
When is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month?
Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month takes place throughout the month of March each year. It’s a time for health professionals, advocates, and individuals to unite in spreading knowledge and encouraging women to be aware of their bodies and seek medical advice if something doesn’t feel right.
How to Get Involved
- For personal health questions, use News | Target Ovarian Cancer. This calendar covers the awareness observance and campaign planning; it does not provide diagnosis or treatment advice.
- Book Your Cervical Smear: Regular check-ups and open conversations with your GP are vital for early detection.
- Support a Campaign: Wear teal, share your story, or take part in a fundraising event to support research and support services.
- Follow and Share: Amplify the message by following organisations like @TargetOvarian and sharing their resources.
Why It Matters
Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed late, with around two-thirds of cases found at a more advanced stage. By increasing awareness, we can help reduce diagnostic delays, save lives, and ensure women feel empowered to speak up about their health concerns.
